What memorials related to the war can you find in your area? Use google earth to go exploring.
Real People:
We often read stories about the men and women that went to war, or contributed to the war effort. However they sometimes seem like characters in a story and we forget they were real people. Open the Discovering ANZACs website (click on image at right) and click on 'PROFILES' to browse a data base of people that are linked to the war. Find someone that interests you and record in point form interesting facts about their life. *If the Discovering ANZACS link is broken you can access the records of Lea Roy Paul HERE and create your report oh him. If you know the name of a veteran you can search for their records HERE. You can also search the Australian War Memorial Roll of Honour. https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search/people |
Be Creative
Using facts gathered for your selected person, write a script and use it to create a video using Flipgrid. The video will help your audience to know and appreciate individuals that were part of our war history.
Use your school email to login to this grid https://flipgrid.com/2d1d061e Videos may be up to 3 mins long. |
Use art materials you have available to create an ANZAC image using this silhouette or one you would prefer from their website http://clipart-library.com/free/ww1-soldier-silhouette.html
